The Drommedaris was built as a city gate in the rampart that surrounded Enkhuizen at the time. It was also a defense tower that watched over the harbors of the city and had a view of the former Zuiderzee. The Drommedaris now houses the Cultural Center De Drom and Cinema Enkhuizen.
DrommedarisThe Koepoort is a city gate in Enkhuizen. For centuries the gate was the western gateway to the city of Enkhuizen and is part of the city's fortifications. The slight curve in the gate opening has been deliberately made to make shooting through the gate impossible. On the city side is the statue of the city maiden of Enkhuizen.
De KoepoortThe town hall is the epitome of the large, prosperous city that Enkhuizen was in the Golden Age. The master builder was Steven Vennekool, a student of Jacob van Campen. The interior is largely authentic and features rich paintwork. The work rooms are still in use and the historic Schepenen room is a popular wedding location.
